Are folks here really such butthurt homers that can't understand what I'm trying to say?
So what's your problem with Aldridge being the #1 option while Kawhi is hurt? It's basically by default.

You don't need an MVP caliber superstar, you just need a player whose game is more effective than a post-up, fadeaway, midrange heavy player.
An antiquated offense that will never outscore the best teams even with Kawhi is a tough pill to swallow for all the slurpers.
unbelievable
Dude. It's not that people don't understand. It's that with LMA clearly being the second best player SA reached the WCF. I mean, it's just silly when you sit back and listen to your premise when we literally have proof that LMA as the second best player helped the team do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you are saying.
Then on top of that to make up some random scenario that without Kawhi or a rusty Kawhi LMA won't be able to step up enough. Like duh
this, criticism is how to play, not to the player, by answers it seems that no one understood, the best Aldridge for SAS, would be the Aldridge "elite role player" defense, low post, pnp, pnr, but he probably thinks He is very good for this.
OK, but for what purpose? For competing with the Warriors?
Oh yeah? I must have missed the time when the Spurs won the championship with Aldridge as its second best player. Or even the time where Aldridge didn't end a playoff run in a sour note.
Thank you son.
That right now is the same as saying competing for the championship, so yeah.
Yep, Aldridge injured both Leonard and Parker last season.
THAT SOUR SONOFA
so what player would have been a better second option for us than LMA, that we could have obtained
Completely disagree that another all-star, who's not MVP-caliber player, in place of Aldridge would be enough to close the enormous talent gap between the Spurs and Warriors.
John Wall is a modern type of PG who can break down a defense. Do you think the Spurs would be good enough to beat the Warriors if the Spurs traded Aldridge for him?
Robin Lopez and player to be named later.
But he didn't do much to make up for their absences either, tbh. Also, you are missing the point as per par for you on this thread.
Yeah, he should've been able to sweep the Warriors by himself. That's what NBA second options do.
THAT SONOFA
You wanted to call your shot on why the Spurs will lose this year.
Don't worry, everybody in this thread will disappear in the postseason when LMA shows up like he did against OKC in 2016 and GS last year. They'll return the following year though when he starts regular season stat padding against bad teams.
How do you quantify that? Of the ones that were rumored the easy choices are Irving and Paul. But you don't have to go to those extremes to find more efficient styles than Aldridge's. Pretty much any PG that can run the pick and roll, attack the basket and shoot the three would be better secondary options than Aldridge.

No, because if you trade Wall for Aldridge straight up you would be leaving a huge hole on the front court. But I do think that John Wall is better secondary option in today's NBA than Aldridge. Even though Wall isn't ideal either because he can't shoot for .
You seem more interested on trying to find hidden messages on my posts than in actually reading what I'm saying, tbh.
i'll give you a lot of flexibility on that. who would we have to give up to acquire irving or paul? what would the roster have looked like.
Your message is not hidden.
Fine - Kevin Love, Al Horford? Drummond?
